Walter Franchetti

About

My name is Walter Franchetti. I was born and raised near Verona, Italy. I've had the opportunity and the luck to work both as a startup founder and as an employee in several companies.

I studied Communication Design at Politecnico di Milano, but programming has always been my first language, since I was 13. This dual track, design and code, is the thread that holds everything I do together.

Today I'm a senior developer and my main interest is the intersection between artificial intelligence and neurodivergence. I study how technology can truly make a difference in people's lives. We're all different, each in our own way. My personal story has made that even clearer.

I believe that through innovation there is great potential for a significant improvement in quality of life. That's why I do what I do.
